This restaurant was opened by the 1st owner in 1993 and had been run by her for 2 years. 2nd owner bought it in 1995 and had run it for 10 years till the end of 2004. 3rd owners Sunny & John Seo bought it in January 2005 and have been running it till now.

John had worked as a professor and CEO of an environment consulting company for around 20 years in Korea. In January 2003 John came to the U.S. as a visiting and exchange professor at a university. Two years later after his “recharge” period, he then decided to quit his jobs in Korea to start his “second life” for the education of his children and pursuit of his own American Dream. Since then, he has been running this restaurant with his wife, Sunny.

 

John’s major was Environmental Engineering and he earned his Ph. D. for it. Sunny’s major was Japanese. Daughter
Ran Seo is majoring in Violin Performance at Indiana University and his son Chang Woo Seo is majoring in Neuro
Science at Boston University.

For the last four years John has decorated the wall with many kinds of musical instruments and raises orchid
throughout the year for his beloved daughter, as well as pictures of customers and more fun things like language board.
(Daughter’s name Ran means “orchid” in Korean and that’s John’s favorite.)

Sunny and Johns’ joy lies in cooking fresh, healthy and delicious foods in a very fast manner and serving them
with gentleness and courteousness in a small but always clean and comfortable place.
